Visit Atlanta: Mellow Mushroom

While on the plane to Charlotte, North Carolina, I overheard someone say Mellow Mushroom had some of the best pizzas.  We did see Mellow Mushroom while in Charlotte, but we decided to wait until we got to Atlanta to try Mellow Mushroom, since it originated in Atlanta. 

It was New Year's Day, and we were glad they were still open for dinner.  

Spinach Artichoke Dip

Merry Prankster

The Merry Prankster had an herb aioli base, chicken, Italian sausage, garlic roasted red peppers, green bell peppers, mozzarella, Wisconsin aged white cheddar, and herb aioli drizzle.

Funky Q Chicken

The Funky Q Chicken was topped with shredded mozzarella, BBQ chicken, sharp cheddar cheese, caramelized onions, applewood-smoked bacon, and BBQ sauce.

House Special

The House Special consisted of red sauce, mozzarella, pepperoni, Italian sausage, ground beef, honey ham, applewood-smoked bacon, black olives, sliced mushrooms, Roma tomatoes, green peppers, sweet onions and more mozzarella.
 

Everything was delicious!  The Spinach Artichoke Dip was so creamy and cheesy, and the crust on all of the pizzas was just perfect - thin and crispy, but with a nice char and chew.  

All of the pizzas were good and loaded, but if I had to choose a fave, it would be the House Special.  You just can't go wrong with classic pizza toppings!  

It was a busy night, and they were short-staffed because they let staffing go early thinking it would be a slow night, but we didn't mind the wait for our food, since we were just so happy that we found a place that could seat us.

Highly recommend Mellow Mushroom if you love pizza!  There are locations Nationwide!
